Oh I'm sure we can rely on Bill. He gets the job done.

Out of concern for our precious pups we left exercise until the afternoon today, after the cold had eased a bit.
Still chilly, but beautiful in the sunshine.
Running with our Kahtoola Exospikes.

Needed some forced motivation to get out this morning but I'm glad we did.
All the side roads around Hayfield are seriously iced over.
Glad of our Kahtoola Exospikes, without which I doubt we'd have managed 7k run.
Dogs pleased with their Musher's Secret, which stops snow balling between their toes.

I sympathise with anyone who needed to drive this morning but it was lovely to enjoy a walk on low ground from our village.

Hope it heals quickly. Take care. Maybe a physio?

That's interesting. We've probably averaged around that per week for many years now. Pessimistically, could be about 50km per week.
3 years ago we added running to our repertoire and we now run and hike on alternate days.
I'm 71 and my OH is 65.
We run slowly but I'm proud of both of us.

A fine, dry but very windy walk this morning.

A milestone on our way home from Hawes. Just happened to glance at the instruments. At first I thought was a series of dashes indicating a fault. Luckily there was a layby a short way ahead.
Chrissie and I did consider waiting there for 11 minutes...but couldn't be arsed πŸ˜‚
